In her more general Call for Papers for the Society for the Study of =Southern Literature conference, Rich=E9 Richardson writes, "the U.S. =South remains a neglected topic in contemporary labor studies and, =surprisingly, has not much factored into that field's theoretical =discussions of empire and imperialism. Similarly, labor studies remains =for the most part sorely neglected in southern studies. Yet southern =literature has consistently and complexly engaged the theme of labor." =The Eudora Welty Society invites submissions that will link Eudora Welty =to this important discussion. Delta Wedding springs readily to mind, =but many other Welty works addresses issues such as prison labor, =domestic labor, and art as "labor." Her photographs suggest another =treasure trove for this topic. Please see Dr. Richardson's more general =CFP for more ideas at =http://www.textsandtech.org/orgs/ews/index.php?URL=3Dpapers
